Photosynthesis / Biochemistry

PhotoSynthesis

100

Photosynthesis definition

Process of plants making food from water, CO2, and sunlight

200

This is a waste product of photosynthesis that animals need to survive

Oxygen (O₂)

300

This type of energy powers the process of photosynthesis.

Solar energy / light from the Sun

400

This is the main product of photosynthesis that plants use for food and energy.

Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆)

Plant PartFunctions

100

This part of the plant absorbs water from the soil.

Roots

200

This part of the plant carries water from the roots to the leaves 

Stem

300

This part of the plant is the main site of photosynthesis

Leaves

400

Inside the leaf, this organelle captures sunlight and uses it to make food during photosynthesis?

Chloroplasts

Equation

100

These are the products of photosynthesis

Glucose and oxygen

200

These are the reactants of photosynthesis

Water, CO₂, and solar energy

300

What's wrong with this equation?
6 H₂O + 6 CO₃ + light --> C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

Should be CO₂ (carbon dioxide) on reactant side

400

This number of CO₂ molecules are needed to make one molecule of glucose

6

Bonus

100

Chlorophyll is the pigment that gives plants this common color.

Green

200

(True or False) Photosynthesis can happen in a dark room

False

300

Can photsynthesis happen underwater? If so, explain why

Yes, both sunlight and CO₂ are present underwater

400

How is photosynthesis connected to the food that animals eat?

Plants produce glucose which animals consume to make energy
